CORSAIR K70 CORE RGB Mechanical Wired Gaming Keyboard with Palmrest – Pre-Lubed MLX Red Linear Switches, SOCD, ABS Painted Keycaps, Sound Dampening, Media Control Dial, QWERTY UK – Black

Great keyboard, very responsive. Feels good. Good size, design and durability. Sounds good. Great value for money

A brilliant iteration on an absolute classic. I have recently switched from the 2012 version of this keyboard, the Corsair K70, to this and the improvements are numerous and noticeable. The keyboard has a satisfying click, the keys are quick to bounce back into position and the RGB effects are pleasing (and easily disabled) even without the need for the additional iCUE software. The noise level is considerate while still satsifying, as I do not feel guilty using this in an office environment - and the magnetic arm rest is easy to use and feels comfortable to rest my hands on.. The media keys work well, however I am not the biggest fan of the rotary dial - though this may be to other peoples' tastes. This keyboard serves me well for programming as well as gaming and I could easily recommend it, especially for the price.

No issue with extra key presses registering when logging in to Windows 11, I think there was an update that fixed this? Nice keyboard, you can turn off the pretty lights if needed with a button shortcut. I would order the one without the wrist rest and save £12 - it's a hard piece of plastic that comes off the keyboard very easily, as it's only held on with 4 tiny magnets. If you pick the keyboard up from the sides, it will fall off so fairly useless. There is no extra space around this keyboard, which makes it problematic to pick up without hitting any keys, they are a bit sensitive and also quite high up off of the board (but I've only had more basic keyboards before).

I got recommended this keyboard online as a good keyboard for gaming with a medium ish budget. I must say that for the price point this keyboard is awesome. The feel of the keyboard feels pretty high quality and the sound of they keys is satisfying, at least to me. The keys are quick so are great for any fast pace/fps games. The lights on this keyboard look great, pulsing different colours across different areas of the board, with tons of customisability with colours etc. I'm sure there are far better keyboards out there but for the price of this one, you really can't go wrong.

While it is a very nice gaming keyboard - if you want to lock yourself out of log-in screens due to keyboard sending duplicate keypresses - then get it! ;) Unfortunately as with other reviews, even after latest firmware, iCue updates, settings, etc. - it stil does it and I wish I sent it back. In fairness, once you're logged in and iCue works it does not do it that much - but the initial Windows log-in screen is a nightmare! You need to press the "show password" to make sure there are no duplicated keys or you're going to be locked out. Unless you want to double-bluff and actually have a password with duplicated letters (e.g. AAbbbCCCCddddd...) that might be far harder to crack as nobody would think of cracking something like that ;)) Positives - it integrates nicely with other Corsair RGB stuff like mice, fans, memory, etc. - and does allow nice RGB effects if that is your pleasure. It is always easier to go with devices from a single manufacturer for one PC - perhaps go with a different manufacturer for another PC - as otherwise you end up running way too many similar programs doing similar things and bloating/slowing things down. For gaming it is fast and the included palm-rest (magnetic attach) does help. The RGB illumination is not bad - not top of the range but decent - and as I mentioned it does integrate nicely. So please try another keyboard if settled on Corsair - I do like their products (mice, memory, fans, PSUs) but this keyboard - especially seeing other reviews - should be recalled.

I wasn't sure what to expect when buying this keyboard as I'd never bought a keyboard in this price range before. The build quality overall is very good premium feel to it as you would expect from a brand like Corsair. The keys have a really nice, almost matte finish to the and the MX switches are so much better than I expected, surprisingly quiet for a mechanical keyboard it almost feels like membrane but obviously they're mechanical. They're super responsive with a nice tactile feeling and I'm making far less typos than I was. One thing I was pleasantly surprised by is the RGB lighting, it has a nice muted glow to it that doesn't torture your eyes, perfect for late night sessions. I do hate the icue software though, it's a pile of rubbish but the hardware is solid. Would definitely recommend this if you're looking for your first mechanical keyboard or you don't want something that's too clicky.

Good gaming keyboard - son has told me! Hes happy so so am I

Had this keyboard for well over a year now. Pros - - icue is awesome and can do a lot of themes, the lighting is great - Very durable keyboard - The wrist rest is neat and magnetic Cons - - When typing it duplicates the input, this has been ongoing consistently and there is no fix - Very noisy when typing - Sometimes the keyboard has a mind of its own, the RGB will just suddenly stop displaying and takes a lot of tedious messing (resetting the keyboard) to get it back working. Overall it’s a okay keyboard, could be better for the price
